Honestly, I’m not particularly impressed. They could have done something quite interesting and played with perspective a bit. Quite generic if you ask me, though they are using the original illustrations.
 
The Alice and Cheshire Cat is 9am today. The other design for Through the Looking-Glass will be released later in the year.

I missed out on the 1oz silver proof so I rang yesterday and was told it won’t be advertised and sold to the general public which is quite sad to be honest. 

Thanks for this. 
It is interesting that it is advertised as a ‘maximum coin mintage’ with no reference to specific presentation etc. Presume therefore that there ARE only 100 of these. If LPM are offering 650, then it is clearly A different coin/mint. 
Update on the gold: I won’t be able to get one as I have been told they are all sold out. Not sure if the silver proof will be offered online or not. Not clear. Probably will be like the larger Three Graces (e.g. 10oz).

Here’s the Royal Mint page for the 2 Oz Silver Proof which states the maximum mintage is 100.

Ah, did they say anything about the 2oz gold mintages? Thought I saw on the LPM site that it was in the 600's but now I don't see that listing anymore. Haha, too early for me here.
I'm interested in the gold but hoping the mintage isn't too high.
And I agree with others when they say a wider planchette for the 2oz would have been nicer.

@Altitudes
These unusual proof sizes were also selectively available in the US market. BOLD precious metals had 15 of the 2oz silver proofs for sale, and I happened to take a screenshot from May 2nd. APMEX currently has a 10oz gold proof for sale at an enormous premium, and the mintage of this coin is 30.  I like to take these screenshots for reference prices, as the dealers remove them after they sell.  
 

Most likely. I think so.
Just because of the LPM position/connection, I think.

Confirmed to me through an account manager.

Just thought i’d share before and after photos of a coin ive recently had conserved. Most impressive and obvious improvements ive ever had.
Before:


 
After


 

According to the RM website the silver 1oz had a diameter of 38.61mm, whereas the LMP website states that the silver 2oz will have a diameter of 40mm - so slightly larger, but not much so.

The SOTD is now on sale:

A bit of fun.  

For the next large TSF prize draw to advertise and bring awareness of the forum, which will be in around a month or two. Should we double the prize and have 2x 5oz silver bars up for grabs, 2 different winners each winning a 5oz silver bar. If you think we should then like this post. 

If this post gets 100+ likes we will give away 2x 5oz silver bars. (I have set this target deliberately low so that it is easily obtainable)

If this post reaches 200+ likes, we will add a small bonus  

My 2oz got a 70 grade, really like this design over the other one, i think the other is a bit too busy.

Any news on the 2oz gold proof? Can't remember if it was going to be another dealer exclusive.

The Queens Beast series has been a very popular series of coins in both silver and gold.
My opinion, I don’t see why this wouldn’t be as popular. Perhaps even more so with those that have bought all of the previous QB’s but also those that haven’t bought a single one. The latter being myself.
They could be the new Una & Lion or Three Graces or they might not.
Who knows.

Fair bit of info on sizes and pricing here:
https://www.dailymail.co.uk/money/saving/article-9521383/Royal-Mint-carves-10kg-gold-coin-sells-six-figure-sum.html

100oz silver bars are available on RM website!

I have a 10oz una silver bar.
I can only imagine what a 3G coin of that size would be like 😪

The 10oz are all reserved so i would assume that is the same for the 1kg

They look much nicer in a capsule.

My three graces sovereign set arrived...
pics are below of the full and quarter sov, like a mini gold replica of the RM one on one side...
